Climbing Wall Policies

Belay Policy

The wall is open to anyone, but each climber, regardless of ability, must take the Safety and Skills Test every four months to become an approved climber. Climbers between the ages of 13 and 17 years old may become approved climbers provided they have a parent or legal guardian attend the Safety and Skills Test and sign off on all waivers. Climbers 12 years of age and under may not belay.

Waiver Policy

All participants must sign an “Indoor Climbing Wall Acknowledgement of Risk and Release” agreement. Participants under the age of 18 must have the form signed by their parent or legal guardian. A parent/guardain must be present unless the event has been scheduled through Recreational Services.
